CAMBODIA: UN-BACKED GENOCIDE TRIBUNAL SECURES LOAN TO PAY NATIONAL
STAFFNew York, Sep 18 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations has secured a
loan from major donors to meet the salaries of national staff working
for the tribunal responsible for trying genocide suspects in Cambodia.

The loan to the national component of the Extraordinary Chambers in
the Courts of Cambodia (<"http://www.eccc.gov.kh/en">ECCC) for the
payment of arrears of national salaries is being made on a strictly
reimbursable basis, according to Lars Olsen, spokesperson for UN
Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials.

"The United Nations continues to work with major donors to try to
identify additional funding to meet the salaries of national staff for
the remainder of 2013," he said in a statement. "We hope that the
national staff of the ECCC will now be able to return to work on this
basis."

More than 100 of the court's local employees reportedly went on strike
in early September after not being paid for a month.

"The United Nations underlines that the only sustainable solution to
the lack of funding for the salaries of national staff is for the
Royal Government of Cambodia to meet its obligation to pay them," said
Mr. Olsen.

"Any further strikes could risk delaying the judicial proceedings and
jeopardise the court's ability to function."

The ECCC, established in 2003 under an agreement between the UN and
Cambodia, is tasked with trying senior leaders and those most
responsible for serious violations of Cambodian and international law
committed during the Khmer Rouge rule. It is staffed by a mix of
Cambodian and international employees and judges.Sep 18 2013 1:00PM
